TPU's Winter's End WCG Challenge (2/26 thru 3/6/2015)- join us to crunch/fold/win stuff

[krusha03]

Yeah I started on day 1. but I don't think I was at full output my cpu was never stressed if anyone can point me to a thread that an help me tweek for output I would be great full

I think most of the questions are being ask and answered here. There is also the boinc essential thread but it doesn't show any advanced settings. To set the cpu to full load what you need to do is go to advanced view -> Tools -> Computing Preference and set the cpu time / usage at 100%.

No Actually I left the room's window wide open the night before last, it got down to -32c . Cracked the radiator seam but didn't see that till late last night.

Got a spare Rad in now and thank god there wasn't any other leaks. My indoor temp gauge was reading -22c

That's insane! I didn't realize it was frozen at first.

Glad no hardware was taken out!

lol I wish I asked earlier only been crunching 2 threads just jumped to 8... /me feels retarded

Thanks Matt, Yeah I thought it was just iced up bat last night I seen drips coming from the rads outter core and thought Fu%k!!!

Oh well Glad I had the same rad as a spare kicking around, less FPI but at a slight fan speed increase it cools like mad

Hey @blunt14468, the dude behind the many stones we've seen lately, welcome!

Don't haz a sad, it's all good. There's plenty more work to do

Crazy that that's something to worry about up there in the cold! So are you back up and running with the replacement rad?

I actually thought you where running ice water or something on purpose. Nice to hear that there was no hardware damage

Yup I've got an ACool 11 FPI rad.. I bought it brand new a few years back...But I never had the fans to run it, but now I have the fans to really make this rad work... pluss with the less resistance it has far less noise, so really it's not a big deal at all beside getting another spare lol..

And Frozen PC, the guys I always buy from. They closed doors, so I'm kinda pooChd atm.

But I learned a lesson, AGAIN, CLOSE THE WINDOW lol

lol I wish... I woke to a bios BSOD saying CPU fan error.... It was the pumps impellor seized solid and the bios read 0% RPM so the system shut down.

Im glad that feature actually worked

 

[blunt14468]

I live in the same town as frozen cpu. They will re open just doing some restructuring from what I hear... I hope I have a rather large order I'm waiting to place.

Or run a mixture of auto antifreeze in the loop and leave the window open with a fan in it bringing the cold air in and go for higher clocks. This is the tpu way.

We did really awesome here! I mean, we always do really awesome and when new levels of awesome are had, it takes me a second to comprehend our new levels of awesomeness. Seriously proud of this team.

..and I'm not even mad at Snerk. That's impressive.

 

[Nordic]

It is over already?

 

[Para_Franck]

It is over already?

I guess we need new challenge, with honor as prizes. It could be the spring beginning challenge, or something like: the amazing never ending crunching turbo platinum challenge to save the world

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

UPDATE- prize drawing info

I'm going to have to postpone the drawing until tomorrow night Team.... going through the list of names has proven to be a bit of a challenge all by itself

In the meantime, please have a look at the list below of those Team members that have qualified on points but there is an issue with TPU member name, activity on forum, or location:

Spoiler: See list

If you know these folks please contact them to post or contact me- Thanks!

Also, we have included the following members of the folding Team in the drawing(s):
@Ahhzz
@theoneandonlymrk
@Steevo
@LaytonJnr
@revin

They did not crunch but did fold for the duration of the challenge, which makes them elligible

Just want to make sure all elligible members are included- Thanks in advance for your patience!
